The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements is false, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement **Statement:** The paramagnetic permanent magnetic moment of Cu(NH3)4^2+ is 1.732 Bm. - **Analysis:** - Copper (Cu) in the +2 oxidation state has an electronic configuration of 3d^9. - In the presence of NH3, which is a strong field ligand, the electron configuration can lead to pairing of electrons. - The number of unpaired electrons (N) in Cu(NH3)4^2+ is 1. - The magnetic moment (μ) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \mu = \sqrt{N(N + 2)} \] \[ \mu = \sqrt{1(1 + 2)} = \sqrt{3} \] - This gives us a magnetic moment of approximately 1.732 Bm. - **Conclusion:** This statement is true. ### Step 2: Analyze the second statement **Statement:** The equilibrium constant is the ratio of rate constants of forward and backward reactions. - **Analysis:** - For a reaction at equilibrium, the equilibrium constant (K_eq) is defined as the ratio of the concentration of products to reactants. - The relationship between the equilibrium constant and the rate constants of the forward (K_f) and backward (K_b) reactions is given by: \[ K_{eq} = \frac{K_f}{K_b} \] - **Conclusion:** This statement is true. ### Step 3: Analyze the third statement **Statement:** Ni(CO)4 is tetrahedral. - **Analysis:** - Nickel (Ni) has an atomic number of 28, with an electronic configuration of 3d^8 4s^2. - In Ni(CO)4, CO is a strong field ligand and causes pairing of the d-electrons. - The hybridization in this case is sp^3, which results in a tetrahedral geometry. - **Conclusion:** This statement is true. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth statement **Statement:** For forming NCl5, N adopts an sp^3d hybrid state. - **Analysis:** - Nitrogen (N) has an atomic number of 7, with an electronic configuration of 2s^2 2p^3. - Nitrogen does not have d-orbitals available for hybridization because the d-orbitals start from the third period. - Therefore, nitrogen cannot form sp^3d hybridization. - **Conclusion:** This statement is false. ### Final Conclusion: The false statement among the options provided is the last one: "For forming NCl5, N adopts an sp^3d hybrid state." ---
